Completely WRONG !!!!! Mens Lacrosse will be playing in Spring ACC ,BIG 10 , PAtriot league IVY is a wild card possibly they only play amongst themselves
I fear that college athletics will begin to contract severely, especially if they cancel spring sport seasons again. How long can they keep these non income producing programs afloat?
It is a risk. Commit and then the program is suspended
The scam that college is could clearly afford to carry these sports....
This is why you use your lacrosse talent to get a higher education. Lacrosse is only played for so long, get to a spot that sets you up for future success.
You have it wrong. They would love to have football and basketball and an excuse to cancel the spring sports which are nothing but a cost center.
Consider how much revenue the school makes when you have 50+ kids getting no athletic money, generally from higher income families with good grades coming to your school who otherwise might not. There is at least one DIII school who I know awards a bonus for every kid the team carries. Needless to say the roster is huge.

IMHO there is going be less spots for the 2022s and likely the 2023s until the extra eligibility and the impact of the pandemic cycles through. Won’t be an impact to the top 100 players or so, but for other kids looking for D3 and D2 spots, there will be impact.

Besides the top players in the country or players on teams with a shot at a National Championship, how many players will take the extra year of eligibility.
The 2022 2023 2024 class will all affected by this pandemic recruiting you all have to realize the scholarship gets readjusted back to 12.6 and then you will have many top IVy recruits with an extra year of eligibility and that in turn eats up scholarship dollars. Then it becomes a trickle down effect kids transfer from top program to lesser program to play more and that in turn affects your recruiting . I do think this is going to be very difficult for recruits to find places with the amount of kids on a team the top programs will be taking less recruits that is a fact . If you are a speciality player example faceoff , goalie it is going to be even harder ......

If your son is being recruited by a school, look online at the roster size.
